Chapter 1: What are the five ways businesses are using OpenAI's Sora 2 model?
Today on the AI Daily Brief, five ideas for Sora businesses and how to prompt the most out of the Sora 2 model. Before that in the headlines, 100% of coders at NVIDIA are now using Cursor or another AI coding platform. The AI Daily Brief is a daily podcast and video about the most important news and discussions in AI. All right, friends, quick announcements before we dive in.
First of all, thank you to today's sponsors, Super Intelligent, Robots and Pencils, Notion, and Blitzy. To get an ad-free version of the show, go to patreon.com slash ai daily brief.
Chapter 2: What recent headlines highlight advancements in AI coding tools?
You can also now get it with Apple podcast subscriptions. However, I did talk to a contact at Spotify who suggested at the moment for how we're using it. it makes more sense to focus on the connection between Spotify and Patreon. So if you are a Spotify consumer, it looks like there will not be a native subscription version in Spotify just yet.
One good piece of news is that I did learn how to connect video to the ad-free feed in Spotify, so you'll be able to get the video, not just the audio versions ad-free. Lastly today, a quick reminder about the AIDB extension survey. As I mentioned, no changes are coming to this main show.
I'm just thinking about a few possible extensions for next year, an enterprise edition, an operator's cut that's more focused on practical advice, and an investor's edition. And I'm asking people which of these, if any, are most interesting. You can dig the survey at AIdailybrief.ai, and I would so appreciate it if you do. But now, let's dive into the show.
Welcome back to the AI Daily Brief Headlines Edition, all the daily AI news you need in around five minutes. I remember when, surprisingly, engineering departments and coding groups were some of the most shockingly resistant to AI inside the enterprise. Now, a year later, oh my, have things changed.
Let's talk first about an update to Cursor, and then we'll talk about how this is all playing out. Cursor has introduced Plan Mode, allowing their coding agents to create plans, conduct research, and work for longer. Plan Mode gives the model new tools to create and update plans, as well as an interactive editor to modify plans in line.
The way that it works is basically when you prompt the agent to create a plan, Cursor then goes and researches the code base to find anything that it needs to execute that plan. Looks through relevant files, finds review docs, asks clarifying questions, and then ultimately, when you are happy with the plan, it memorializes it in a markdown file that you can then edit directly.
The company said that plan mode had significantly improved code generation in their testing. AI educator Kevin Kern posted, the new plan mode in Cursor is well thought out. It builds on the existing task lists, showing they iterate on what's already there and bring features together instead of shipping separate ones. I like that approach.
Investor Charles Williamson writes, the more I use plan mode in Cursor, the more I realize how much attention to detail went into it. So good. Now, generally, this new feature showcases a huge emerging theme that context is king when it comes to advanced AI use. Planning basically allows the agent to work with the user to build and refine that context before it gets to work.
Now, another growing theme around AI coding is that these tools are much more capable in production now. In the first half of the year, it was surprising to many to hear that tech giants were already using AI to generate up to 30% of their code.
